St. Pabo Post Prydein,
King
of the Pennines(c.474-530)(Welsh: Pabo; Latin: Pabius;
English: Pabio)

Pabo Post Prydein, is most popularly
called the son of King Arthuis, though
earlier sources suggest that he was this man's brother. His epithet means the
Pillar of Britain, said to derive from his keeping Pictish invaders at
bay. Though his Kingdom covered the Pennines of central Britain, in later
life, Pabo turned to Christianity, abdicated the throne in favour of his
sons, Dunaut Bwr and Sawyl
Penuchel, and retired to Gwynedd where he founded the church of
Llanabo on Ynys Mon (Anglesey). He died there on 9th November 530 and a
beautiful medieval stone slab carved with his image can still be seen
covering his grave.
